Now Aldy you are getting into ADD tune out space for most of us :)  Complex and lots of stuff. Can you elaborate on these? 1. Mozilla Weave (Firefox Sync Server)  --- what exactly does this do / facilitate? 2. Owncloud (w/ CalDAV and CardDAV to sync Contacts and Calendar for my phone -- what...

Someone just said that that KC outage is a fiber cut.

Well in Kansas City, I am betting on a network failure due to hardware failure.  Their network runs well, but have been increasing number of outages in the past year.  Either aging hardware or growth up to capacity of devices and humans on staff.

Would be an uber good resource for a howto of some of these high availability self rolled solutions. :) On the cheap and commonly for static content we use Rage4 DNS with multiple front ends distributed geographically.  They have monitoring hooks (API) for detecting offline nodes (unsure if...

(we need a section for outages) Stopped in to check on things and I see: URPad (UK) Wholesale Internet (Kansas City) Datashack (Kansas City) are all offline. Lots of price conscious folks offline.

He didn't cross post on LET did he :) ? Doh! Yeah that's problematic. Has happened before and I barked about it (someone else did it first).

...Infosys earns 62% of its revenue from North America, 23% from Europe, 2% from India and remaining 13% from rest of the world. Employees 157,263(June 2013) There have been some allegations that Infosys has committed visa fraud by using B-1 (visitor) visas for work requiring H-1B (work)...

... err Good summary of the offshoring of US government contracts by these asshats: "Indian offshorers want to offshore outsource U.S. Government contracts & more American jobs"...

More worker Visa abuse in the United States? By a tech company? Oh this is news :0 It has been like this for over a decade. There are many of these Indian sweat shops exploiting foreign labor. So many desperate workers from abroad who never will demand overtime and work at rates less than US...

This might be the ticket for easiest Owncloud install, where you have your own virtualized environment or are running your own full server. Turnkey Linux has a ready rolled install: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/owncloud

Lavabit has long tempted me.  They sorely need to update their site and raise the packages some:

Good luck shopping this offer request. Most hosts tend to stick to the Cpanel as-is install and not go beyond there. Even on WHT there is a true lack of mail type offers. Obviously, mail is a PITA and it is an abuse target and known to soil IPs. All that said, I know others around here are...

The issue @Mun isn't the webmail interface.   Most folks trying to roll their own mail never make it anywhere near that end point.

The dual quad Xeons in the 54xx series are a pretty big cpumark uptick from many common processors.   Even many of the newer processors that are more common to consumers still can't compete with them. Aside from the "old" stigma, the 54xx's are probably more than sufficient for the next 8-10...

How is the Zpanel install process?  See support for Ubuntu, but no Debian....

Add me to the abandonment party.   I long ago ditched using big email providers for anything of importance.  Then again, absent crypto and avoiding users on those honeypot systems, you are joining the monitoring pool just by interacting with one of their 'USERS'. In fact, I think most people...

An annual plan with DDoS protection?!?!?! I think this is an industry first. Good stuff! Offering this in Texas also and is that a Colocrockpotting location too?

Live chat, yes, folks ought to have it especially for pre-sales and issues following the transaction. Technical issues should get shoe horned into ticketing.
